unstitched coif - progress

it's texture time on holey moley, so i've dug out some photos for a new slide show

my chard inspired Hundertwasser piece is coming on wonderfully - i'm really enjoying the hand stitching and have been blending threads to create different shades & tones - i dread finishing it before i have another handstitched piece to work on! photos soon but i want to wait and show the finished piece
